A strange WP:SYNTH of Tolkien and the D&D concept, however, the idea of a half-orc fails WP:GNG as non-notable, lacking in significant mentions from reliable sources. I mean, we don't have an article for "half-demon" or "half-dragon". _{ZXCVBNM (TALK)} 03:32, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails GNG. That said, I think the topic of half-races like this would make an interesting sociological / literary article. But I don't think much has been written outside half-elves in Tolkien angle. --_{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here} 05:57, 28 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Merge to Orc, which in fact already mentions half-orcs, and which has a section on orcs in gaming that can be expanded. BD2412 T 04:29, 29 February 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Delete There are not enough secondary sources to justify this article. The whole matter about the "half-orcs" in the Lord of the Rings seems to border on original research.John Pack Lambert (talk) 01:29, 2 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
